ALCS 2007

The Red Sox and The Indians had identical records this season, 96 wins and 66 losses. Then the Sox swept the hapless Angels in three, the Tribe needed four to dispatch the Evil Empire. Now they're tied at three games a piece in the ALCS and all that happened before could not matter less. The only thing that matters is game 7 this Sunday, and the subsequent American League victory in the World Series in 4 games. It's kind of funny in way that 7 months of effort and effect come down to one game, maybe even one at bat or one pitch. That's why I love baseball.
